Karachi is facing a renewed cold wave as icy winds sweep through the city, causing temperatures to dip below 10°C. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) confirmed that the minimum temperature dropped to 9.8°C, while light fog reduced visibility to 3 kilometers. This sudden shift has marked one of the coldest spells of the season.
Weather Forecast and Temperature Trends
The PMD predicts that Karachi will experience cold and dry weather in the coming days. Winds, blowing at speeds of 5 to 20 kilometers per hour, will add to the chill, particularly during early mornings and late evenings.
This drop in temperature comes after a series of fluctuating weather patterns, with cold winds from Balochistan significantly contributing to the chill.
Impact of Cold Winds
The current cold spell is linked to a western weather system affecting the region. This system has brought frigid winds, making Karachi one of the coldest urban centers in Pakistan at the moment. These icy gusts have intensified the winter chill, leading to cooler days and extended chilly nights.
Advisory for Residents
Authorities have urged residents to take precautions against the cold, especially during peak hours of chill—early mornings and late evenings.
The weather conditions have particularly affected daily life, with many people lighting fires or using heaters to stay warm during the evenings.

Fluctuating Weather Patterns
Karachi’s weather this winter has been marked by notable fluctuations. Earlier this week, the arrival of cold winds from the northern regions caused a significant dip in temperatures. The city continues to adjust to these variations as the western weather system influences its climate.
The cold wave has also highlighted Karachi’s unique weather patterns. As a coastal city, Karachi rarely experiences extreme winters, but periodic cold spells like the current one underscore the city’s vulnerability to shifts in regional weather systems.
Residents Adapt to the Chill
Despite the discomfort, Karachi’s residents have quickly adapted to the colder weather. Public spaces like parks and streets are less crowded during the evenings, with most people opting to stay indoors. Those who venture out are seen bundled in layers of warm clothing, enjoying hot drinks or soups to combat the cold.
